Five days after an ICE agent fatally shot activist Renee Good, @frontline & @ProPublica filmed as tensions ran high in the Minneapolis neighborhood where Good had been killed. A protester threw a snowball. Federal agents responded with tear gas, pepper balls and pepper spray, hitting members of the reporting team in the face. "We see just use of excessive force after use of excess force," said a former DOJ official who looked at the team's footage.

FRONTLINE and ProPublica trace the Trump administration\u2019s federal immigration sweeps in major cities across the country \u2014 and the violence, protests and arrests stemming from them.

\n
\nHow did the operations by masked and heavily armed federal agents, sometimes backed by the U.S. military, unfold in major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis? And how did protesters and bystanders who are U.S. citizens get caught up in the crackdown? Those questions are at the center of this documentary collaboration from FRONTLINE and ProPublica.
\n
\nThe Trump administration said its immigration crackdown was protecting U.S. citizens by targeting criminals and people who had entered the country illegally. \u201cCaught in the Crackdown\u201d traces how what began as immigration enforcement operations also became something different \u2014 with the government arresting hundreds of U.S. citizens who were protesting or observing the raids, and routinely portraying those citizens as domestic terrorists or extremists.
\n
\nBut despite the rhetoric, the reality behind those arrests has often been quite different, ProPublica and FRONTLINE found: \u201cWhen we analyzed more than 300 of these arrests, we found that while there have been successful prosecutions, over and over, cases have been falling apart, contradicted by video evidence and witness testimony,\u201d says correspondent A.C. Thompson.
\n
\nVideo footage and witness testimony also contradicted official accounts of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of two protesters in Minneapolis, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, at the hands of ICE agents.
\n
\nIt also traces the role of one of the key players in the operations, Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, who defended the aggressive tactics and arrests and called them \u201cexemplary.\u201d After Pretti\u2019s killing, Bovino was moved out of his role and has since retired, with the Trump administration saying it \u201crecognized that certain improvements could and should be made\u201d to its immigration enforcement operations.
\n
\n\u201cCaught in the Crackdown\u201d is a FRONTLINE production with Schonder Productions in association with ProPublica. The correspondent, producer and writer is A.C. Thompson. The producer, writer and director is Gabrielle Schonder. The senior editor is Frank Koughan. The managing editor of FRONTLINE is Andrew Metz.

\nThree months into President Donald Trump\u2019s second term, President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador opened the doors of his country\u2019s notorious prison, CECOT, for deportees the Trump administration had swept up and accused of being gang members. Despite revelations that most of the men had no criminal convictions in the U.S. or proven gang affiliations, as well as concerns about harsh treatment, both presidents touted the move as a win.
\n
\nIn \u201cThe Deal: Trump, Bukele & the Gangs of El Salvador,\u201d FRONTLINE and reporters from the El Salvador news outlet El Faro investigate what was behind the controversial deal, and what each leader stood to gain.
\n
\nThrough interviews with current and former U.S. officials, reporters and insiders, the documentary shines new light on Bukele\u2019s tangled history with the gangs the U.S. is fighting, why Bukele offered to imprison U.S. deportees, and who he asked be returned to El Salvador from U.S. custody in exchange, in what one reporter calls \u201ca deal within a deal.\u201d

\n
\nAs the documentary explores, Bukele opened the doors of the notorious Salvadoran prison known as CECOT to planeloads of mostly Venezuelan U.S. deportees that the Trump administration had swept up and accused of being gang members. Later reporting would reveal that most of the men had no criminal convictions in the U.S. or proven gang affiliations.
\n
\n\u201cIt was pretty obvious what Trump was getting out of this deal,\u201d T. Christian Miller of ProPublica says in the opening scene. \u201cIt was much less obvious what Bukele was doing.\u201d
\n
\nThat lack of transparency was familiar to Carlos Mart\u00ednez and \u00d3scar Mart\u00ednez, reporters at the El Salvador investigative news outlet El Faro who have covered Bukele and his administration for years.
\n
\n\u201cThe nature of Bukele\u2019s government is to keep things secret,\u201d Carlos says in the opening scene.
\n
\nFRONTLINE and El Faro\u2019s documentary, releasing April 7, pierces that veil to investigate what underpinned Bukele\u2019s controversial CECOT deal with the Trump administration. The film chronicles how the brothers and their colleagues discovered evidence that ran counter to Bukele\u2019s tough-on-gangs image: Bukele\u2019s government had previously negotiated with MS-13 and other violent gangs it publicly claimed to be cracking down on, El Faro found. Those negotiations, documents showed, involved offering privileges to gang leaders in prison, in exchange for a reduction in homicides and voter support in territories the gangs controlled.
\n
\nFollowing the revelations, Bukele, who had vowed to end government corruption and crush gangs, claimed \u201cEl Faro lied\u201d and said the documents showing his administration\u2019s dealings with gang leaders were \u201cfake.\u201d The Mart\u00ednez brothers now live \u2014 and report \u2014 in exile.
\n
\nThrough the brothers\u2019 story, as well as the perspectives of other reporters, former U.S. officials and insiders, \u201cThe Deal\u201d shines new light on Bukele\u2019s tangled history with the gangs the U.S. is fighting. The documentary examines why Bukele offered to imprison U.S. deportees in CECOT \u2014 and why, in exchange, he asked for a number of gang leaders in U.S. custody to be returned to El Salvador, in what one reporter in the documentary calls \u201ca deal within a deal.\u201d
\n
\nBukele has said the Trump administration's return of MS-13 members will help El Salvador "finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants" of the gang. But some observers suspect he had another motive: preventing gang leaders in U.S. custody from exposing the details of their past dealings with Bukele\u2019s administration.

\nIn the weeks since the U.S. and Israel began bombarding Iran, President Trump has repeatedly justified the strikes by claiming Iran had posed an imminent nuclear threat. But nine months earlier, in the wake of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in June 2025, the message coming from Washington was that Iran\u2019s key nuclear facilities had been \u201cobliterated.\u201d
\n
\nDrawing on new reporting, satellite imagery analysis and interviews, this investigation is an updated presentation of our December 2025 documentary by the same name.
\n
\nIn September of last year, directors Adam Desiderio and Sebastian Walker, who is also the film\u2019s correspondent, visited sites hit in the June 2025 U.S.-Israeli strikes and sat down with one of Iran\u2019s most powerful officials, Ali Larijani \u2014 in what turned out to be the last on-camera interview he gave to an American news outlet before his assassination earlier this month in an Israeli airstrike.
\n
\nSince the current war began, the team has been talking to experts and officials and analyzing satellite imagery with The Washington Post, Bellingcat and Evident Media to try to understand the truth about what remains of Iran\u2019s nuclear program.
\n
\nTheir findings offer valuable insights into a continuing conflict that has rippled across the Middle East, killing thousands \u2014 including children at an elementary school \u2014 and displacing millions.
\n

\n
\nIn the nearly five years since the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan, there\u2019s been a dramatic increase in attacks within neighboring Pakistan by the militant group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, commonly called the Pakistani Taliban or TTP. Pakistan has accused Taliban-controlled Afghanistan of harboring the group and enabling it to launch cross-border attacks, which the Afghan government denies \u2014 and in recent weeks, the fight between the two countries escalated into what Pakistan\u2019s government called \u201copen war.\u201d
\n
\nAgainst this volatile backdrop, FRONTLINE\u2019s 2015 documentary \u201cTaliban Hunters\u201d offers relevant history on TTP and Pakistani security forces\u2019 fight against it. This short documentary went inside a Karachi-based counterterrorism police unit dedicated to tracking down Taliban suspects.
\n
\nAs the documentary reported, TTP first emerged in 2007 and used to have only a small, underground presence in Karachi, Pakistan\u2019s largest city. But by the time the documentary aired, the group had been gaining ground in the city of over 20 million people, and carrying out suicide bombings and targeted assassinations there.
\n
\nThe film documented how the unit carried out raids to take suspected TTP members into custody. It also explored human rights groups\u2019 allegations that Karachi authorities were abusing militants captured in the city\u2019s fight against terrorism. Amid TTP\u2019s current resurgence, \u201cTaliban Hunters\u201d is an illuminating snapshot of where the fight against them stood in one large city back in 2015, and how the group operated.
\n
\n\u201cTaliban Hunters\u201d is directed and reported by Mobeen Azhar and produced by Jamie Doran. The senior producer for FRONTLINE is Dan Edge.

Ali Larijani was secretary of the Supreme National Security Council in charge of Iran\u2019s nuclear negotiations at the time that this 2025 interview was conducted. Iran confirmed he was killed in an Israeli airstrike in March 2026.

\n
\nIn a wide-ranging conversation in Tehran, Larijani said Iran had pursued every option to resolve the conflict with the U.S. in a peaceful way and warned President Donald Trump against new attacks, saying there was no chance Iran would surrender. It was Larijani\u2019s first interview with foreign media after he was appointed to his role by the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei following the 12-day war with the U.S. and Israel in June 2025.
\n
\nLarijani was once a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a powerful Iranian paramilitary force, and served as parliament speaker from 2008 to 2020. In the months preceding the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran in February 2026, Larijani was reportedly in charge of the deadly crackdown on Iranian protesters and tasked with shoring up the Islamic Republic\u2019s existence in case of war.
\n
\nLarijani spoke through an interpreter with FRONTLINE\u2019s Sebastian Walker on Sept. 22, 2025, for our 2025 documentary, "Strike on Iran: The Nuclear Question." This was Larijani's last on-camera interview with an American news outlet before he was killed. See a more complete description of our process here: https:\/\/to.pbs.org\/4lVZKzA
